Read on how you can transform your space in a matter of minutes.
Strategic Sconces
This low sloped ceiling is the perfect place in which to hang a pair of sconces, which will make reading in bed much more enjoyable. They’re easy to turn off without having to shift too much or stand up.
Rustic Touches
There’s something extra cozy about squeezing a twin bed up against a low sloped wall, it’ll create an instant cabin-like look. The wooden bed and patchwork quilt used here adds extra rustic charm.
Platform Bed
If your ceiling is low, you will want to make sure that your bed is low to the ground as well. This will help to make your room appear a bit more spacious but is also the most practical choice—it will ensure that you do not hit your head as you get in and out.
Against the Wall
Alternatively, you can back your bed into the wall as shown here for a cozy, cave-like setup. There’s no need for a headboard; the artful beamed ceiling is eye-catching on its own.
Red Brick
If your walls are sloped on the sides of the room, this is an optimal setup, as there is still plenty of clearance for getting in and out of bed. The beautiful exposed brick could even serve as its own kind of “headboard” instead of a standard one.
Open Windows
Don’t be shy about placing your bed against a window. Just be sure to purchase a headboard to prop yourself up and add some definition to the space. Here, a carved headboard allows the natural light to still shine through into the room.
Built-In Shelves
Sloped ceilings are full of personality; this one even offers a stair-shaped shelf on one side of the room. Take advantage of these architectural quirks and use them to your advantage to maximize storage and charm.
Charming Details
Rooms with low sloped ceilings are great for young ones, as little kids won’t have to worry about being too tall for a given space and may appreciate feeling as though they’re sleeping in a treehouse-like getaway.
Pop of Print
It can be challenging to determine how to best wallpaper a room with a sloped ceiling, but note that even an accent wall will add tons of life and color to a space. It’s a more affordable means of enjoying your favorite wallpaper print as well.
Creative Lighting
Use a low ceiling to your advantage when it comes to hanging sconces. These are drilled directly into the sloped ceiling rather than onto the wall to ensure that they hang at an optimal angle.
Minimal Finishes
There’s nothing wrong with keeping things minimal in a room with sloped ceilings, these spaces are conducive to simplicity and are already full of character on their own.
Hanging Plant
A hanging plant is attached to one of the beams in this bedroom, making for a nice, unexpected touch. You could also wrap string lights around beams like these to add ambiance.
Skylight Additions
If the space you’re designing has skylights, use them to your advantage when placing furniture. Here, a little one enjoying in the crib can enjoy the sunlight streaming in—as can a parent sitting in the accent chair.
Wood Trim
In this rustic style bedroom, the residents also opted to skip a headboard and kept things simple, allowing the beautiful beams and wood trim to serve as the star of the show.
Window Nook
This mattress is pushed up against the window—who wouldn’t want to gaze at the stars while drifting off to sleep? The bed fits perfectly into the nook of the window which is then styled with an ambient lamp and some decor accents.
Styled Sill
In a small space, every inch counts when it comes to decorating. Add flair to the windowsills in your bedroom; if there’s room for a vase or plant, this is an easy way to jazz up kids’ and adults’ spaces alike.
Mixed Patterns
A well-decorated bedroom will appear more grand in size. Here is an instance in which wallpaper and rich textiles bring chic British flair into a bedroom with a low-sloped ceiling. Don’t be afraid to play with patterns in small spaces like this one—when executed well, the look is extremely welcoming.
Whimsical Accents
Kids and parents will enjoy transporting themselves into another world while curling up in this corner reading nook. For an extra dose of whimsy, consider wallpaper the ceiling.
Petite Lights
When working with low ceilings, sconces can come in handy as opposed to traditional lamps. Large lampshades may not fit comfortably beside sloped walls and may appear too bulky for a small space.
Beautiful Built-Ins
Built-in shelves provide instant storage without sacrificing precious square footage in this nursery. A canopy above this crib mimics the look of the sloped ceiling across the room, making for a dreamy nursery setup.
Strategic Layouts
A twin bed fits perfectly in this little nook underneath the sloped ceiling. Don’t be afraid to turn a nightstand on its side to ensure it better fits your layout.
Vintage Finds
Vintage pieces are often smaller in scale and may fit best in a bedroom with low ceilings. Not to mention, they will help to play up the comforting, old-timey vibe that many attic bedrooms have.
Various Kinds of Lighting
Plenty of light is key to making a small room feel more spacious. The good news is that string lights and rooms with low ceilings go hand in hand. Use Command hooks or small nails to keep your favorite strand secure on the walls.
Monochrome Palette
Love a monochrome look? Incorporate your all time favorite hue into your bedroom by using it on the walls and trim and picking out some furnishings and accessories that match—don’t be afraid to vary your shades a bit.
Double Beds
Think you can’t fit two beds in a room with low sloped ceilings? Think again! With a creative layout, you can design a functional space for siblings or guests to share so the space feels uniform and intentional.
Warm Tones
Keeping exposed brick and beams in their natural state is an easy way to add warmth to a bedroom that may not receive much natural light.
Colorful Accent Wall
Liven up your bedroom with a painted accent wall in your favorite color. Sage green is majorly trending and complements styles ranging from boho-style to grandmillennial.
Candlelit Ambiance
Pretend you’re unwinding in a remote hideaway by adding flameless candles to your bedroom. They’re way more soothing than a harsh overhead light and will help you fully embrace your room’s snug factor.
Place them on top of a trunk at the end of the bed, which can be used as seating by day.
